Dancing Spirit Ranch

Nestled within this sanctuary is a small compound of buildings offering guests a wide variety of activities and meeting areas. The Barn houses a commercial kitchen, dining room, library and fireside sitting area. The Schoolhouse is an ideal meeting place for many types of gatherings and workshops, or it can simply be used as a recreation hall. The seven-bedroom bunkhouse has an Old West feel coupled with plush mattresses and warm Pendleton blankets. The Little White House is a former schoolmarm’s cottage that borders the 14-acre pond. This quaint little village is the perfect place to relax and connect with yourself and with nature through various ranch activities.
And, of course, Dancing Spirit Ranch is in the middle of northwest Montana’s legendary, recreational wonderland. Located 6 miles southeast of Whitefish—which has been called Montana's most beautiful town—we are a short drive from Glacier National Park, Whitefish Mountain Resort and many pristine lakes woven between beautiful rivers and streams. Hiking, whitewater rafting, fly-fishing, mountain biking, golf and skiing are just a few of the adventures that can be arranged here at the ranch.

Deciding where to go while you’re here won’t be easy (it’s a pretty big place), but what you’ll quickly discover is that there’s so much Montana to see, you’ll be planning your next trip before this one is even over.

Here are some easy ways to get started. From laid-back weekend jaunts, romantic getaways and family vacations, to complete cultural experiences, there are seemingly endless options for adventure in Western Montana.

At first glance, Montana may not seem like a dining destination, but we’re happy to report it’s exactly that. With incredible fine dining restaurants, steakhouses, bakeries, bars, breweries, food trucks and cafés serving up a mix of everything—for every kind of eater—Montana is an adventure in food, too.

You don’t even need to see what’s around the next bend to be stopped in your tracks at Glacier National Park. The sheer beauty is jaw dropping from every angle. With over 1 million acres of towering, jagged peaks, cascading waterfalls, wild meadows and sparkling waters, plus wildlife watching and recreation opportunities, it is, quite simply, the vacation of a lifetime.
